ihis 18 truly an age of wonders, and among them are, talking by lightning, walking on air, ridiug on the wings of tlie wind, and transferring, aa it were, a whole orchestra over hundreds of miles of wire. These are no greater than the rapidity of travel on the railways, however, as the hurrying trains every day show. There are always new conveniences and improvements in the manner of travel which add greatly to the oomfort of those who are journeying. One of the latest, though it has been in use some time, is the Pullman Hotel Uars, where one is always "at homo," and can eat, walk, talk, or sleep, as he chooses. Go down to the Chicago & North-Western depot any eveuing, or any mom ing, and you will seo the moving palace. The Pullman Hotel Cara were put on the Chicago & NorthWestern Eailway about the first of July, last year, and they have proven to be an unquestioned and deoided success. The cara are beauties, and a person can get aboard at Chicago in the moniing and ride through to Council Bluffs without leaving the car, and still have all the convenieuces of any of the most elegant hotels. They are on the Europeau plan. "You pay only for what get." If you have never seen them, it wiil pay you to go down to the depot some evening and go through the train.- Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Daily Repubücan, Maren 19, 1878. In these Hotel Cars the meáis are a la carte -you pay for what you get, and nothing more ; and thia at very reaaonable rates. Tho managers of the Company have determined to omit nothing which will add to the convenience, safety and comfort of the traveling public who favor them with their patronage ; and further, that they will not be eclipsed in thiB direction by any other railroad in the world. Henee these cars, constructed by the Pullman Palace Car Company especially for the Pioneer line, are the finest ever buitt. It ia not exaggeration to say that no road in the world can produce the equal to these magniücent cara, and as the average traveler wants the best of everything that can be had, he must of necessity use this line in his transcontinental trip. The charges for berths in these Hotel Cars are the same (and uo higher) as are made in the more common Sleeping Car, so that the traveler using one of these palatial hotels is given much more worth for his money thau lie can get on any other line. Remember ! Pullman Hotel Cars are now runmug regularly between Chicago and Council Bluffs, on the Denver aud California ExpreBS Trains of the Chicago & North-Westeru Railway. West-bound, they leave Chicago daily, except Sunday, (and on every third Sunday), from the Wells Street Depot, at 10:30 a. m., and arrive at Couucil Bluffs next morning. East-bound, they leave Council Bluffs at 6:30 p. m., daily, except Sunday, (and on every third Sunday), and reach Chicago the next afteruoon. Bear in mind ! No other rcad runs Pullman Hotel Cars, Pullman Dining Cars, or any other form of Hotel, Dining, or Itestaurant Cars through between Chicago and the Missouri River. On no other road can yon get all the meals you require between Chicago and Omaha without Ieaving the car you start in. This is the only line that has through eating eahng cars of any sort.
